Giong Festival to receive UNESCO certificate (21-01-2011 10:50:20)

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the People’s Committee of Hanoi City and the Vietnam National Commission for UNESCO will organise a ceremony to grant UNESCO certificate to the Giong Festival as a world heritage in Hanoi on January 22.


The Giong Festival was the third cultural heritages in Vietnam recognised by UNESCO in 2010 along with the 82 doctorate steles in the Temple of Literature and Thang Long Imperial Citadel.

It is an annual traditional festival held in many provinces across the country to commemorate the glorious victory of the legendary saint Giong, one of Vietnam’s Four Immortals, the four chief cult figures in the pantheon of genii worshiped by the ancient Vietnamese people.

The ceremony aims to promote the festival as well as the country and people to international friends and improve public awareness to preserve the priceless cultural value of the heritage.
